Courtyard by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port

great location to cruise port. staff was great. They were all happy and knowledgeable about the area, etc. The room and public areas were all clean and welcoming. bed was very comfortable.

We chose this hotel because on the plane spotter's hotel website it was the only one at Fort Lauderdale that had a runway view. The app to check in online would not let us choose our own room so we came early to try and checkin to get a room with a runway view but there weren't any. After an hour wait the lady found a room on the sixth floor facing the runways but right at the very end of the hotel away from the airport so it was a stretch to do any spotting from there--needed strong binoculars and flightradar24 to get anything at all. So, a disappointment in that way, but the breakfast was good and there was a bath in the bathroom, so not all bad.

I was a little worried after I had read some reviews. However my own experience was terrific! This hotel was a very nice hotel. The beds were comfy, we loved the extended tub/shower and the eating/waiting area in the lobby was very spacious. The food at their bistro was very good too! The best part was the staff! They were very kind and accommodating when we arrived before our room was ready. They stored our luggage so we could grab lunch and visit Bass Pro next door. They really know how to take care of their cruising guests! At any one time, they have about 10-20 guest coming in to stay. At the same time they've got about 20-30 people boarding shuttles to take them to the cruise port. Everything was handled professionally. I would definitely stay here again!

The property is great, the room was spacious and great for 4 people, we spend one night there and the check in was easy, the staff were welcoming and there was a restaurant on site which offered breakfast which was also very good. There si a shuttle bus from FLL which was fast and easy to use offered for free.

Location, price, and comfortability. They let me check in early.
